This station is a U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey standard bench mark disk, located in Bayville, NJ. It is located on the northeast face of the school, slightly northwest of the east corner of the building, and set vertically. Here is the NGS description:

DESCRIBED BY COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY 1964
1.4 MI N FROM BAYVILLE.
ABOUT 1.4 MILES NORTH ALONG U.S. HIGHWAY 9 FROM THE POST OFFICE
AT BAYVILLE, SET VERTICALLY IN THE NORTHEAST FACE OF THE BRICK
WALL NEAR EAST CORNER OF THE BAYVILLE SCHOOL, 1.4 FEET NORTHWEST
OF THE EAST CORNER OF BUILDING, 123 FEET SOUTHWEST OF THE CENTER
LINE OF THE HIGHWAY, AND ABOUT 4 FEET ABOVE THE LEVEL OF THE
HIGHWAY.

The description is adequate with the exception of the post office location. The post office building in the description is now occupied by a fence business. The location is better noted as 0.1-mile northwest on Route 9 from the junction of Korman Road and Ocean Gate Drive.

Be advised that there is a closed circuit camera on the outside wall of the school, above and west of the mark.

This station is loggable on both this site and Geocaching as well. When visiting this station, please consider logging on both sites. Thank you.
